The movement stems from a potential constitutional referendum that will see the country vote on recognising Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the first Australians.

Sonia Waters is leading the journey throughout the Great Southern.

"Our constitution, our nation's founding document, is silent on up to 60,000 years of history in our country. So if you pick up our constitution, you would think that nothing existed here before 1788 or 1901 - but we've got tens of thousands of years of living history here," she says.

"We are the oldest continuing culture on this planet, and that's something that we as Australians should be very proud of, it's something that sets us apart from the rest of the world."

Australia has a long history of voting against constitutional referendums, primarily due to a lack of information, and so the Recognise crew have been visiting towns and cities across the country providing education and information.

"This has bipartisan support," explains Sonia. "But people need to know what needs to be fixed. What this journey is about is building that people's education, and keep building that momentum for a referendum."

The Recognise movement is also championing a change to a clause in the constitution that still allows states to discriminate based on race.

"There is one section in our constitution that says that states can ban people of a particular race from voting at a state election," says Sonia. "It doesn't represent who we are now as a society. As a nation, we've come a long way in a short period of time."

The movement believes that a 'yes' in the proposed referendum will only further the healing process for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

"I know that this constitutional recognition will bring us closer again, and I look forward to that."

Sonia says that so far, the journey has seen all races, cultures and communities turn out in support of the referendum - and that the journey has no end date in sight.

"It will keep going until we get to the referendum," she says.

The Recognise walk and yarn will also be held in Mt Barker and Albany. For all the details, head to the Recognise website.
